After a crazy night.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaoran clung to Zhang Yuan like an octopus.

"I'm going to go take a shower and work."

"Well, I won't let you go..."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Once he did, he got even harder.

Zhang Yuan also discovered that as time went by, Dabai became more and more clingy.

Logically speaking, she is no longer a teenage girl after all.

Women of this age may be clingy, and although it comes from the heart, there is a very obvious limit.

The kind of person who sticks when it’s time to stick and won’t hesitate when it’s time to let go.

The advantage of mature women is that they are serious when they should be serious, and joking when they should be joking.

Now he is holding me tightly, probably using this emotion and action to praise myself for my performance last night.

Last night, this girl worked extra hard because she helped her friend.

I have worked so hard that I feel like I am sacrificing myself.

And Zhang Yuan also taught her a lot of new knowledge.

For example, what is a tee… It is a pipe connection.

Play is play, feelings are feelings, both of them are very clear about the difference.

At least that's what Zhang Yuan thought.

Since he didn't have to marry her home, Zhang Yuan naturally stood up and kicked her.

And Li Xiaoran is also happy to be kicked out, so the relationship is very harmonious.

But now he realized that the other party seemed to be a little too clingy.

Not only did it not let him go, it also nibbled and bit his neck.

"This can't be a result of love growing over time..."

Zhang Yuan finally managed to pry open her long white arms and legs that were hanging on him.

"Then I will wait for you in the room."

Li Dabai waved at him and blinked.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that it was fortunate that his physique was stronger than that of ordinary people and he also practiced martial arts.

Otherwise, if this kind of "run" person is around, the body will be drained within three to five days.

Zhang Yuan began to understand why those stars had to find temporary lovers on the set.

In addition to relieving boredom and eliminating loneliness.

You are the center of attention during the day and have people serving you at night. Your daily income is equivalent to what an ordinary person earns in a year. Who wouldn't want to take this kind of job?
After washing up, I went to the hotel to have breakfast, and then took a car to the shooting site.

After spending an hour putting on makeup and changing into costumes, Zhang Yuan finally came in front of the camera.

"How is your health?" Feng Xiaogang asks this question almost every day.

"Okay, that's almost it."

"That's good." Director Feng nodded, then brought him aside and smoked a cigarette with Zhang Li.

Zhang Yuan refused the Furong King offered by the other party because he had to shoot a scene soon.

"Ahem..." The two of them were halfway through drawing the ball. After Feng Xiaogang coughed lightly twice, he suddenly spoke.

"Well...your body has almost recovered."

“But still be careful.”

"This morning, the assistant director who lives next door to you told me that he couldn't sleep all night because of the noise."

Hehehe...the old pervert Zhang Li looked at him and laughed.

“Youth means good health.”

Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and mumbled a few words to cover up the past.

It's all Li Xiaoran's fault. Why is she so loud...

"Your role here should be completed today." Director Feng spoke again.

"In a while, you will have a few more performances at Anji Bamboo Sea."

"It's quite tiring. Be prepared and make sure your body can handle it."

"No problem, just ask the assistant director to give the notice to my assistant." Zhang Yuan replied calmly.

There are two main filming locations for "The Banquet".

In addition to the palace scene in Xiaotangshan, there is also a bamboo sea villa where the prince studied music.

Although the bamboo sea scene was filmed last, it was the first scene in the script.

In other words, the emperor sent people to assassinate his nephew, the prince.

The reason why it was filmed last was that among the main characters, only Zhang Yuan would appear in this scene, and the others would not participate.

After discussing the work arrangements, it’s time to start shooting.

In front of the camera.

"No Luan!"

Zhang Ziyi grabbed Zhang Yuan and held him in her arms.

“Uh… cough cough cough…”

This scene is Prince Wu Luan’s lunch box scene.

To prevent Yin Xuan from attacking Wan'er from behind, the prince grabbed the opponent's dagger.

Little did he know that the opponent had coated the blade with a deadly poison that would kill him instantly upon contact with blood.

"Wan'er..."

After panting for a few seconds like an old cow, Zhang Yuan relaxed his body. In Zhang Guoji's arms, he was like a dead body with its bones removed, broken into pieces.

But his eyes did not look at his lover, trying to keep the other person in his heart forever in the last moments of his life.

It's not that he didn't want to, but before filming began, Zhang Yuan and Director Feng argued for a long time to determine what kind of poison killed the prince.

Some poison masters were conscious and died from severe pain.

Some of them suffer nerve damage and die in a daze.

The ways of death caused by these two different poisons are obviously different.

Feng Xiaogang had never considered this detail at all. Zhang Ziyi, who was standing next to him, was also impressed by his pursuit of perfection in details.

Finally, after discussion, everyone agreed to Zhang Yuan's neurotoxin plan.

Because Zhang Yuan pointed out that Zhou Xun's previous character, Qingnu, died in a conscious and painful way.

So if the prince ends his life in the same way again, it will create a repetitive visual effect.

Feng Xiaogang agreed with his statement and thought it was amazing that he could consider the performance details from the perspective of the overall situation and effect.

So at this time, Zhang Yuan set himself the goal of quickly losing his visual ability after being poisoned, and his hearing also deteriorated rapidly.

Naturally, he would not turn his eyes to his lover Wan'er.

And because neurotoxins can also damage other body functions, at Zhang Yuan's suggestion, the prince's lines in this scene were completely deleted.

As Zhang Ziyi called out to him and roared, Zhang Yuan's breathing gradually became weaker, and he finally died silently...

"Card!"

Director Feng nodded.

Not only did his performance not deteriorate due to injury.

It even gets better!

Among the younger generation, he is a representative figure who uses his brain to make movies.

Because he uses his brain instead of relying on his feelings, his performance has been very stable.

So worry-free!
After Zhang Ziyi finished her move, she also gave him an affirmative look.

Because she felt the passing of life from Zhang Yuan's performance just now.

"Let's applaud, congratulations to our Prince Wu Luan for wrapping up the filming in Xiaotangshan!" Feng Xiaogang led the applause.

Supporting actors such as Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Ma Jingwu, Ge You and others also joined in filming.

As Zhang Ziyi was taking pictures, she suddenly felt lonely.

After spending so much time with such a smart and interesting person, I feel a little reluctant to part with him.

The crew organized a farewell banquet in the evening.

Anyway, everyone knew that Li Xiaoran had been accompanying him on the crew recently, so Zhang Yuan simply called her to have dinner together.

Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Feng Xiaogang are all veterans in the industry and would never ask questions like...

What is your relationship?

Silly questions like are you just playing around or are you serious?

Anyway, we should just eat and drink and have fun together.

It’s just that Zhang Ziyi’s eyes often look a little unnatural when she looks at Li Xiaoran.

I visited our house when I was in Berlin, but Zhang Yuan was not at home.

In the end, I didn't succeed, but this woman got a bargain...

International star Zhang Ziyi herself is a plain and ugly girl, and she was very jealous when she saw Li Xiaoran, who was so fair and plump.

Now seeing her face as red as jade, white with a rosy glow, I know that she must have been well nourished recently.

Others also noticed the status of the two.

Li Xiaoran took the initiative to help Zhang Yuan pick up food and pour wine, and even helped him peel shrimps.

Everyone thought that this boy was so lucky.

He was clearly just looking for a companion on the crew, but the women were so nice and attentive to him, enough to make others envious.

"We didn't drink well last time, so we must drink well this time!" After they started eating, Huang Xiaoming pulled his shoulder and said.

After all, he is from Shandong and is very well-behaved.

Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to stop the host's work.

"Come on, we still have the photo of you and Zhang Yuan drinking together last time and getting so drunk that you couldn't even get into the house."

Zhou Xun, a professional against Brother Xiao Ming, spoke immediately.

"How can you smear someone's innocence out of thin air? For us Shandong people, what we do is called being drunk...that's called having fun!" Brother Xiao Ming defended himself with a flushed face.

Sure enough, he, who took the initiative to drink with Zhang Yuan, was already having a good time in less than an hour.

"I'm going to the bathroom for a while...you guys are not allowed to leave. Wait until I come back and continue drinking!"

After that, the crooked man went to the toilet. "Xiao Ming is really like a big child." Zhang Ziyi complained.

"This is the unique strength of Shandong men," Zhang Yuan joked.

As he was speaking, his cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

He picked it up carefully.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello." A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone. Judging from her attitude and tone, she seemed to be a secretary or some kind of professional female staff member.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhang Yuan?"

"It's me. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Yuan. I'm from the crew of Curse of the Golden Flower."

"You came to our crew for an audition before."

"The director and the crew executives are very satisfied with your performance."

“Do you have any schedule in the next few months?”

hum!
Zhang Yuan’s head suddenly buzzed!
"Curse of the Golden Flower"?
Ask me if I have a schedule?
no……

Zhang Yuan recalled the scene when he had an audition with Zhang Yimou a few months ago, and he even rehearsed a few lines with Empress Gong Li.

At that time, he went there with the mentality of proving that even without Hua Yi's help, he could get the top domestic crew to choose him to act in a movie based on his own abilities and fame.

Before he went, he knew that there was more than a 90% chance that he would not get the role.

After all, the opponent is too strong.

Liu Ye's popularity in the TV drama industry and among young people is probably no match for him.

But in the film industry, he is an Oscar-winning figure. Although I have starred in many commercial and art films, I am indeed no match for him at this stage.

Therefore, he never had any wishful thinking after the audition.

I wasn't too sad when I received the call from the crew rejecting my application.

But at that time, people took special care of him and said that Zhang Yimou thought he was good and there would be a chance for them to work together again in the future.

He thought it was just a polite remark.

Cooperate again?
How long do I have to wait for this?

Hey, you’re here to cooperate with me!
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Then he suppressed his excitement with doubts and asked.

"May I ask what role your crew wants me to play?"

We were talking on good terms, but in the end I was asked to make a cameo appearance. I was so excited that I lost myself.

"It's the role you played in the audition." The other party answered gently and affirmatively.

hiss……

For a moment, Zhang Yuan couldn't believe it.

Didn’t they say that the roles have been decided?

Why did you suddenly come to me again?

The key point is that according to the previous situation, shouldn't Lao Mouzi choose Liu Ye just like in the previous life...

Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of something!
"Okay, thank you for your kindness. Please send me the time and address so that I can visit you."

After making the call and putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan looked up and found that everyone at the table was looking at him intently.

"What's wrong? Why does your expression change so much?" Feng Xiaogang asked without putting down his wine glass.

I was afraid that he would meet with some disaster again.

"Wait a moment..." Zhang Yuan greeted them and turned to look at Li Xiaoran.

"Call your agent and ask me something..."

As Li Xiaoran said, he called his agent Chang Jihong.

And Chang Jihong is also Liu Ye’s agent!
After a while, Li Xiaoran put down his phone, with a look of sadness between his brows, and replied to her.

"Ye Zi is in the hospital. I heard that he was seriously injured."

really!

Zhang Yuan recalled that when He Jiong brought Xie Na to his house last night, he called Fatty Zang to ask about something.

The other party told him that Boss Sun did send someone to Hunan to take action against Xie Na.

And it was the same situation as his, also in the underground garage, and the other party attacked when he was about to get in the car and leave.

But the fat man also mentioned it.

While doing this, Boss Sun accidentally offended other people in the imperial capital and was scolded by his family.

At that time, Zhang Yuan did not ask much, because one should not ask about things in other people's circle blindly, as it would easily cause trouble.

Now he has sorted out his thoughts.

"Xie Na's current boyfriend is Liu Ye!"

"It seems like he's just like me. When he attacked Xie Na, he also beat up Liu Ye."

"But behind Liu Ye is not only Rong Xinda, but also a film contract with Lao Mouzi."

"Now that I've been beaten up, I definitely won't be able to participate in the upcoming filming."

"In addition to filming Curse of the Golden Flower, Zhang Yimou was also working on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."

"Behind the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is the General Administration of Sports..."

On the day Xie Na had the accident, it was Liu Ye who was driving the car.

So they both suffered together.

Zhang Yimou was shocked when he received the call from Liu Ye's agent.

He happened to be in a meeting with the General Administration of Sports at that time. When he told others about it, everyone in the General Administration of Sports went crazy.

This guy named Sun must be coming for us!
In less than a month, two people related to our General Administration of Sports had beaten him up.

What is he going to do?

Do you have any objections to your country hosting the Olympic Games?

Are you trying to put some pressure on us?
After the matter was reported to higher levels, the people above were shocked when they saw Sun Wenlong's name.

So he called the person behind Boss Sun.

"If you want to poop, go outside and don't make others feel sick."

A toad lies on your feet. It doesn't bite you, but it's annoying.

Although it is not a big problem for the big families in the imperial capital, it is really embarrassing.

The Sun family called this guy back home and scolded him for being a big idiot with a bump on his head.

He was sent away overnight.

He was also stripped of most of his positions and powers within the group and his own company, and he basically couldn't stand up anymore.

But in the end, Liu Ye was unlucky to have to deal with Xie Na, a woman.

One arm and one leg were broken.

He didn't have Zhang Yuan's physique, nor his reaction and skills, so he was kicked wherever he was pressed.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. With this injury, I won’t be able to make it to the end of “Curse of the Golden Flower”.

Now Liu Ye has completely severed ties with Xie Na.

During the audition, apart from Liu Ye, Zhang Yuan was the most satisfied with Zhang Yuan, which led to the phone call.

"Ah, Ye Zi is injured!"

When Zhang Ziyi, who was a fellow student in Class 96 of the Central Academy of Drama, heard this, her eyes widened immediately.

When Zhang Yuan told the story, everyone looked at him with lingering fear.

Even though he has gotten involved with such a brutal and cruel person with ulterior motives, Zhang Yuan can still sit here and chat and laugh.

Not only that, he also got a major role in a blockbuster movie for free. This guy is really lucky!

But Li Xiaoran had different ideas from these people. She naturally sided with Zhang Yuan.

"If he doesn't have real skills, he won't be able to get anything even if pie falls from the sky!"

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the other person with admiration.

"So..." Zhang Li put down his glass and thought for a moment, "You're in the two most expensive movies this year?"

"And they are all major roles," Feng Xiaogang said.

"They are all princes..." Zhang Yuan muttered to himself.

He also thought that these places were actually too few.

In 2006, the top three Chinese-language film box office rankings were "Curse of the Golden Flower", "The Banquet" and "Huo Yuanjia".

He's in all three films.

Oh, yes, it’s still not enough.

Ranked fourth is "Baby Project". Eagle King's old Yangtou arranged for himself to make a cameo appearance in this film a while ago.

In this way, in terms of maintaining popularity, the limit has basically been reached.

Everyone toasted him and congratulated him.

But Feng Xiaogang felt a little unsure.

Zhang Yuan appears in both his and Zhang Yimou's films.

While Zhang Yimou is a veteran in period costume dramas, he is a novice.

If the other party's film eventually has a higher box office than his, and their actors have some overlap, he would probably be ridiculed.

After drinking a round, Zhang Ziyi suddenly remembered.

"its not right."

"Zhang Yuan, I remember you seemed to have accepted a film contract from Zhang Guoli!"

"Do you have any schedule?"

Zhang Yuan was also stunned. He had forgotten about this matter.

Uncle Guoli...I'm so sorry.

After all, "601 Calls" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" are not comparable at all.

No matter how much you care about human relationships, you can't let yourself be delayed.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and called Zhang Guoli... (End of this chapter)
